Great, thanks for providing the datasheet for the TPS54332 (IC1). Let's go through each point step-by-step:

1. Recalculate R1 and R2 for 5V Output

The output voltage ($V_{\text{out}}$) for the TPS54332 is determined using the feedback resistors (R1 and R2) and can be calculated by the formula:

V_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{ref}} \times \left(1 + \frac{R1}{R2}\right)

Where $V_{\text{ref}}$ is the reference voltage, typically 0.8V for TPS54332.

Given the desired output voltage is 5V (within a 5% tolerance), should we consider this exact voltage as 5V, or adjust for the lower range (4.75V to 5V)? Please confirm this, and I'll recalculate the resistor values accordingly.

2. Review Capacitor Values

For this, I'll need to examine the usage and necessary specifications for:

C1 Ccomp (1 nF)

C2 cin (47 µF)

C3 Css (100 nF)

Please confirm the purpose or typical values from the datasheet sections for input, output, and compensation networks, and provide any further data if necessary.

3. Recalculate Values for Compensation Network

The compensation network involves the components:

C1 Ccomp (1 nF)

R3 Rcomp (3.3 kΩ)

Please specify any parameters or application notes on compensation that the datasheet provides, especially if values to optimize stability and response time need adjusting.

Once I have the confirmed voltage specifications and any additional details regarding the capacitors and compensation network, I'll be able to accurately perform the necessary calculations.

Thank you for the details. Given these parameters, let's work on recalibrating the resistor values and reviewing the component values for your TPS54332 setup.

1. Recalculate R1 and R2 for 5V Output

To achieve an output voltage ($V_{\text{out}}$) close to 5V with a reference voltage ($V_{\text{ref}}$) of 0.8V, we use:

V_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{ref}} \times \left(1 + \frac{R1}{R2}\right)

Rearranging for the resistor ratio:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{V_{\text{out}}}{V_{\text{ref}}} - 1

Substituting in the values:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{5}{0.8} - 1 = 5.25

You currently have R1 as 7.5kΩ and R2 as 1.5kΩ, which gives a ratio of:

\frac{7500}{1500} = 5

We need to increase this ratio slightly. Let's choose a standard value close to the calculated ratio. One option is:

R1: 8.06kΩ

R2: 1.5kΩ

This gives:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{8060}{1500} \approx 5.373

which results in:

V_{\text{out}} = 0.8 \times (1 + 5.373) \approx 5.3V

This is slightly above 5V. Alternatively:

R1: 7.87kΩ

R2: 1.5kΩ

This configuration will yield:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{7870}{1500} \approx 5.247

yielding $V_{\text{out}} \approx 5.22V$ which is more closely aligned. Would you like to proceed with either of these options or suggest a different configuration?

2. Review Capacitor Values

C1 Ccomp: For stability, check datasheet recommendations for loop compensation capacitors. Typically, 1 nF seems reasonable.

C2 cin: 47 µF is standard for bulk capacitors at the input to stabilize voltage. Ensure voltage rating meets your input spec of 24V.

C3 Css: Soft-start capacitor (100 nF) generally looks reasonable for controlling startup time.

3. Recalculate Compensation Network Values

For R3 Rcomp and C1 Ccomp:

Compensation network tuning often involves:

R3 Rcomp: Adjust value for best transient response.

C1 Ccomp: Can be adjusted for loop stability and phase margin.

Referring to the compensation design section in the datasheet can offer specific guidance per frequency and transient response requirements. Would you like details on specific components or parameters from this?

@copilot Would you like to proceed with either of these options or suggest a different configuration? voltage based on R1 7.5kΩ and R2 1.5kΩ = 4.8v?

Would you like details on specific components or parameters from this? yes

1mo

copilot

Let's examine the configuration where R1 is 7.5kΩ and R2 is 1.5kΩ. We can calculate the expected output voltage with these values using the formula:

V_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{ref}} \times \left(1 + \frac{R1}{R2}\right)

Substituting the given values:

V_{\text{out}} = 0.8 \times \left(1 + \frac{7500}{1500}\right) = 0.8 \times (1 + 5) = 0.8 \times 6 = 4.8 \, \text{V}

So you're correct; this configuration results in approximately 4.8V.

Suggestions for Resistor Values

To achieve closer to 5V, let's choose the alternative configuration:

R1: 7.87kΩ (or close standard value)

R2: 1.5kΩ

This would yield an output voltage of approximately 5.22V, which should be within your desired range.

Compensation Network Components

For the TPS54332 compensation network, typically:

R3 Rcomp (3.3 kΩ) and C1 Ccomp (1 nF):
- These form part of the Type II compensation network.
- Adjusting these can fine-tune phase margin and transient response.
- Often use manufacturer-provided equations from the datasheet's compensation design section to optimize these.

Compensation Optimization:
- Crossover Frequency ($f_{c}$): Determine desired crossover frequency as a trade-off between bandwidth and phase margin.
- Use equations given in the application section of the datasheet:
  - Compensation gain and phase margin depending on $f_{c}$ .

Please refer directly to the provided compensation network section for guidelines on refining R3 Rcomp and C1 Ccomp. Let me know if there's a need to dive into specific figures or datasheet excerpts you'd like, or any other further adjustments needed!

To review the project’s requirements and check the design, I’ll go through the components and their connections based on the typical application of the TPS54332, which is a step-down (buck) converter, and ensure it meets your specified requirements.

Requirements and Configuration:

Input Voltage Range: 5.5V to 24V
Output Voltage: Constant 5V
Output Current: 3A

Let's verify the components and connections:

Part Values:

Inductor L1: FXL0630-100-M: 10 µH
- Check if it is rated for at least 3A continuous current. This is crucial to avoid inductor saturation.

Output Capacitor C1 cout: EMK325ABJ107MM-P: 100 µF
- Adequate for minimizing voltage ripple.

Input Capacitor C2 cin: RVT47UF50V67RV0029: 47 µF
- Ensure it can handle the input voltage range.

Boot Capacitor C3 cboot: 100 nF
- Typical value to drive the high-side FET in TPS54332 applications.

Soft Start Capacitor C3 Css: 100 nF
- Used to control the rise time of the output voltage.

Compensation Network:
- Resistor R3 Rcomp: 3.3 kΩ
- Capacitor C1 Ccomp: 1 nF

Feedback Resistors:
- R1: 4.64 kΩ
- R2: 1.54 kΩ

Calculating Output Voltage:

The output voltage is set by the feedback resistors, R1 and R2, according to the formula:

V_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{ref}} \left(1 + \frac{R1}{R2}\right)

Where $ V_{\text{ref}} $ for the TPS54332 is typically 0.8 V.

Connections Check:

VIN Connection:
- Connect C2 cin:1 to IC1:VIN.

EN_PIN Connection:
- Connect SW2:P1 to IC1:EN.

VSENSE Connection:
- Connect IC1:VSENSE to R2:P1, and R1:P1.

PH Connection:
- Connect IC1:PH to both L1:1 and C3 cboot:2.

BOOT Connection:
- Connect IC1:BOOT to C3 cboot:1.

GND Connections:
- Ensure all GND pins and nets (IC1:GND, U1:A, etc.) are connected to the ground plane or net.

Calculations:

Let's calculate the output voltage using the given resistor values:

V_{\text{out}} = 0.8 \times \left(1 + \frac{4.64}{1.54}\right)

I'll compute this to verify the output voltage is set to 5V.

Code Interpreter

Python
# Given values
V_ref = 0.8  # Reference voltage for TPS54332 in volts
R1 = 4.64  # Resistance of R1 in kOhms
R2 = 1.54  # Resistance of R2 in kOhms

# Calculate the output voltage
V_out = V_ref * (1 + R1 / R2)
V_out

The calculated output voltage is approximately 3.21V. This is lower than the required 5V output. To achieve a 5V output with the TPS54332, you'll need to adjust the feedback resistor values.

Suggestions:

Adjust Feedback Resistors:
- You could either increase R1 or decrease R2 to get a 5V output.
- Recalculate with a target ratio: $\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{V_{\text{out}}}{V_{\text{ref}}} - 1 = \frac{5}{0.8} - 1 = 5.25$
- Choose new resistor values such that their ratio approximates 5.25.

For instance:

Option 1: Increase R1 to approximately 8.4kΩ while keeping R2 the same.

Option 2: Decrease R2 to around 0.88kΩ while keeping R1 the same.

Which adjustment would you like to explore further? Or do you want to specify any other constraints or preferences?

To align the project with your main requirements, which is to deliver a constant 5V output with a 3A current capability from an input voltage range of 5.5V to 24V, I'll review the components, their values, and connections step-by-step.

Questions for Clarification:

Feedback Network:
- Are you planning to use standard resistor values in your design, or are custom resistor values acceptable to match precisely the 5V requirement?

Efficiency Considerations:
- Is there a specific efficiency target you want to achieve for this design?

Thermal Management:
- Is your PCB design constrained in terms of space or ability to handle thermal dissipation?

Component Preferences:
- Any specific preferences or constraints regarding component sourcing or footprint size on PCB?

Reviewed Components and Connections:

Inductor (L1: FXL0630-100-M): This 10µH inductor seems adequate for basic operation. Make sure it can handle current spikes beyond 3A to prevent saturation.

Input Capacitor (C2 cin: RVT47UF50V67RV0029): The value of 47µF is typical, but check its voltage rating. It should comfortably cover the input voltage range.

Output Capacitor (C1 cout: EMK325ABJ107MM-P): A 100µF, the capacitor is suitable to minimize ripple. Ensure its ESR is low for better performance.

Switching Frequency:
- Ensure that other components, such as compensation network ($R3$ $R_{comp}$ and $C1$ $C_{comp}$,) are properly designed for the intended switching frequency of the TPS54332.

Feedback Resistors (R1 and R2):
- As calculated earlier, the current values will not achieve 5V. Adjust them:
  - R1 could be ~8.4kΩ and keep R2 the same or recalculate.
  - Or adjust R2 for another combination, say around 0.88kΩ.

Enable Pin (IC1:EN):
- Make sure the enable circuit (SW2) properly pulls the EN pin for correct startup behavior.

Connections Verification:
- Apply the connection suggestions from the previous response to ensure proper interconnections, especially for power and feedback paths.

Suggested Changes:

Resistor Recalculation:
- Recalculate resistor values in the feedback loop to correctly set the output voltage to 5V.

Thermal Considerations:
- If space permits, consider using ceramic input/output capacitors with appropriate voltage ratings to improve performance.

Add Optional Components:
- Consider adding an LC filter on the output if noise/ripple needs reduction.

Layout Considerations:
- Maximize thermal dissipation by providing sufficient copper area around power components and possibly consider vias if the IC is thermally limited.

Let's incorporate these reviews and suggestions. Please let me know if additional customized values or specific parts preferences are there, and I can guide the adjustment calculations further!

Thanks for providing the clarifications. Based on your answers, here’s a final plan of action to align your design with the requirements using standard resistors:

1. Feedback Resistor Adjustment:

To achieve a 5V output, we'll need to adjust the feedback resistors using standard resistor values. The formula to set the output voltage is:

V_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{ref}} \left(1 + \frac{R1}{R2}\right)

Where $V_{\text{ref}} = 0.8 \text{V}$ (for TPS54332).

The desired ratio to achieve 5V is:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{5}{0.8} - 1 = 5.25

We can target standard resistor values close to this ratio:

Suggested standard resistor values:

R1: 8.2 kΩ

R2: 1.5 kΩ

This gives us:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{8200}{1500} \approx 5.467

The output voltage now will become:

V_{\text{out}} = 0.8 \times (1 + 5.467) = 5.3736 \text{ V}

This configuration results in a slightly higher voltage than 5V. If more precise voltage control is necessary, a fine-tuning resistor or a parallel configuration can be considered using standard E96 value sets.

2. Ensuring Thermal Management:

Utilize thermal vias under the IC1: TPS54332 to a ground plane for better heat dissipation.

Consider heat spreading techniques across the PCB with additional copper area around high power components.

3. Layout Suggestions:

Keep the switching node (between PH and L1) as short as possible to minimize EMI.

Route the feedback trace away from any noisy nodes and avoid coupling to switching traces.

4. Additional Components for Improved Performance:

Consider adding an additional output LC filter if further ripple reduction is required.

Use a higher capacitance value for the output capacitor C1 cout if space permits, which can further stabilize the output voltage.

By incorporating these suggestions and adjustments, your design should be well-aligned with the given inputs and output requirements while maintaining standard components. Let me know if you need further assistance with another part of your schematic, or if you would like to perform additional calculations!

@copilot recalculate last time values for R1 and R2 to achieve 5V or slightly lower (but no higher)

1mo

copilot

To achieve a precise output of 5V or slightly lower using standard resistor values, let's recalculate the values for $R1$ and $R2$. Our aim is to find a combination where

V_{\text{out}} \leq 5 \text{V}

, using the equation:

V_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{ref}} \left(1 + \frac{R1}{R2}\right)

Where

V_{\text{ref}} = 0.8 \text{V}

Calculation:

We want:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{V_{\text{out}}}{V_{\text{ref}}} - 1

Substituting with 5V:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{5}{0.8} - 1 = 5.25

However, as the previous calculations resulted in a slightly higher output voltage, we will try combinations that result in

\frac{R1}{R2} \approx 5.0

, which gives:

V_{\text{out}} = 0.8 \times (1 + 5.0) = 4.8 \text{ V}

Suggested New Values with E12 Standard Series:

Let’s find a nearby ratio using E12 series (most common standard resistor values):

Target $R1/R2 \approx 5.0$

Option 1:

$R1$: 6.8kΩ

$R2$: 1.5kΩ

This gives a ratio:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{6800}{1500} \approx 4.53

Resulting in:

V_{\text{out}} = 0.8 \times (1 + 4.53) = 4.624 \text{ V}

Option 2:

$R1$: 7.5kΩ

$R2$: 1.5kΩ

This gives a ratio:

\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{7500}{1500} \approx 5.0

Resulting in:

V_{\text{out}} = 0.8 \times (1 + 5.0) = 4.8 \text{ V}

Selection:

Both options ensure the output is under 5V. Option 2 is very close to the desired voltage, providing a safer margin under 5V. Let's go with Option 2 using standard resistor values of 7.5kΩ for $R1$ and 1.5kΩ for $R2$.

These values should adequately meet your requirements without exceeding the 5V target. Let me know if you would like additional adjustments or simulations!

The compensation network is an essential part of a DC-DC converter like the TPS54332DDAR, as it helps stabilize the feedback loop to ensure proper performance. Here’s how you can implement a compensation network with a resistor and capacitor:

Typical Compensation Network Components

Compensation Resistor (Rcomp):
- Common values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ.

Compensation Capacitor (Ccomp):
- Common values range from 1 nF to 100 nF.

Let's assume:

Rcomp: 2 kΩ

Ccomp: 10 nF

Wiring the Compensation Network

Components:
- You'll need a resistor (Rcomp) and a capacitor (Ccomp).

Wiring Instructions:
- Connect Rcomp from the COMP pin $\text{IC1:6}$ to Ccomp.
- Connect the other end of Ccomp to AGND $\text{IC1:9}$ .
- Connect the junction of Rcomp and Ccomp back to the feedback loop as necessary, depending on additional components or filtering in your circuit.

Suggested Components

Rcomp: 2 kΩ resistor with a 1% tolerance (e.g., SMD or through-hole based on your layout preference).

Ccomp: 10 nF ceramic capacitor (C0G type would be ideal for stability).

Connection Summary

Connect Rcomp:1 to IC1:6 (COMP)

Connect Rcomp:2 to Ccomp:1

Connect Ccomp:2 to IC1:9 (AGND)

This configuration will form the basis of your compensation network for stabilizing the feedback loop of the TPS54332DDAR. You can tweak the Rcomp and Ccomp values based on the specific transient response and phase margin requirements of your design. Let me know if you need further details or adjustments!

- Connect the GPIO pin to IC1:3 (EN).
- Ensure the microcontroller and the $\text{TPS54332}$ share a common ground.

Control Logic:
- Set the GPIO pin high to connect EN to VIN, enabling the converter.
- Set the GPIO pin low to disable the converter.

Additional Considerations

Pull-Down Resistor (Optional):
- You might want to add a pull-down resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) from EN to GND to ensure the converter remains off when the switch is open or microcontroller is inactive.

Debouncing:
- If using a mechanical switch, consider debouncing to prevent noise from rapidly toggling the converter on and off. This can be managed through hardware with an RC filter or in software if using a microcontroller.

Would you like more details on any of these options, or is there something specific you need help with?

@copilot ic1:comp pin - what is it used for?

2mo

copilot

The COMP pin on the TPS54332DDAR, which is a step-down converter, is used for compensation and is a crucial part of the converter's control loop.

Purpose of the COMP Pin

Error Amplification and Compensation: The COMP pin is the output of the error amplifier in the feedback loop. It is used to stabilize the converter's control loop by setting the loop bandwidth and phase margin.

Connection for External Compensation Network: An external RC (resistor-capacitor) compensation network is connected to the COMP pin. This network helps tailor the frequency response of the system to achieve stability and desired transient response characteristics.

How the COMP Pin Functions

Error Amplifier Role: The error amplifier compares the feedback voltage $V_{\text{feedback}}$ (from the VSENSE pin) with an internal reference voltage. The result of this comparison is output on the COMP pin, controlling the PWM duty cycle to maintain a stable output voltage.

Tailoring Performance: By adjusting the values of the external resistor and capacitor connected to the COMP pin, designers can achieve optimal performance balancing factors like transient response, stability, and ripple suppression.

Practical Consideration

The external compensation network is crucial for ensuring the converter remains stable under various load conditions. The selection of resistor and capacitor values for the network should be calculated based on the specific requirements of the application, considering aspects like load dynamics and the desired phase margin.

If you're designing a circuit with the TPS54332DDAR, setting up this compensation network correctly is essential. Let me know if you need any help with calculations or setup for your specific application!

To calculate the compensation network for the TPS54332DDAR in your current project, we'll follow a standard approach. The goal is to ensure the stability of the feedback loop by choosing appropriate values for the compensation resistor (Rcomp) and compensation capacitor (Ccomp).

Steps to Calculate and Design the Compensation Network:

Understanding Requirements:
- The compensation network needs to set the desired bandwidth and phase margin for stable operation.
- For a typical design, aim for a phase margin of around 60 degrees and a crossover frequency that is typically 1/10th of the switching frequency.

Typical Parameters:
- Switching Frequency (f_sw): Assume it is around 500 kHz for the TPS54332.
- Bandwidth (f_crossover): A good starting point is 1/10th of the switching frequency, around 50 kHz.
- Phase Margin (PM): 60 degrees.

Component Calculation:
- To achieve a phase margin of 60 degrees, use typical values for Rcomp and Ccomp.
- The values depend on your specific output capacitor and inductor, but a typical starting point can be:
  - Rcomp = 3.3 kΩ
  - Ccomp = 5.6 nF

Connection Details:
- Rcomp (3.3 kΩ):
  - Connect one end of $Rcomp$ to the IC1:6 (COMP) pin.
  - Connect the other end to $Ccomp$ .
- Ccomp (5.6 nF):
  - Connect one end to the other end of Rcomp.
  - Connect the other end of Ccomp to IC1:9 (AGND).

Summary of Connections

Connect Rcomp:1 to IC1:6 (COMP)

Connect Rcomp:2 to Ccomp:1

Connect Ccomp:2 to IC1:9 (AGND)

Additional Considerations

Fine-Tuning: These values are starting points. Based on your load conditions and feedback network, you may need to adjust them to get the desired transient response and stability.

Simulation and Testing: It’s advisable to simulate the circuit or prototype it to verify actual performance against your requirements.

@copilot, where vout (5v) should be?

2mo

copilot

In the context of the TPS54332DDAR step-down converter, Vout is the regulated output voltage you intend to achieve, such as 5V in your case. Here's how you can handle the Vout connection:

Vout Connection

Output Inductor and Capacitor:
- The output voltage $Vout$ is typically taken after the LC filter, which consists of an output inductor and output capacitor. In your project, the inductor is L1 and the output capacitors will be part of the circuit connected after L1.

Connection Points:
- L1 connects the phase node to the beginning of the output voltage path.
- Vout is taken across the output capacitor(s). In your setup, this is realized at the C1:1 node or wherever your designated output capacitor is located.

Connection Guide

Connect C1:P1: This is your Vout node, maintained at 5V.

Ensure that the inductor L1:2 is connected to this point.

In the feedback loop connected to IC1:5 (VSENSE), the voltage divider (potentially R1 and R2) will also be connected to Vout to set the 5V feedback reference.

Summary

Your Vout (5V) will be across C1:P1 after the inductor L1:2, leading back to the feedback loop connected to IC1:5 (VSENSE) via a divider formed by R1 and R2.

If you need more detail on setting the feedback with specific resistor values for achieving precise outputs like 5V, feel free to ask!

@copilot recalculate the compensation network considering values from the output capacitor C1 cout. provide parts and connections

1mo

copilot

To recalculate the compensation network for the TPS54332DDAR considering the values from the output capacitor C1 cout, we need to take into account the output capacitor's value as it impacts the overall loop compensation. Here's the step-by-step process:

Given Parameters:

Output Capacitor (Cout): 100 µF

Inductor (L1): Assumed to be suited for your design needs, but let's use 10 µH for calculations, as specified by your part selection (if different, adjustments may be needed).

Recalculation of Compensation Network:

Expected Bandwidth (Crossover Frequency, f_crossover):
- Use the desired crossover frequency as approximately 1/10th of switching frequency (e.g., 50 kHz).

Calculate the Compensation Network:
- Assume:
  - Rcomp = 3.3 kΩ (starting value).
  - Ccomp will be calculated using the formula related to the desired phase margin and crossover frequency.
- Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of Cout:
  - Assume small ESR (e.g., 0.01 Ω) unless specified otherwise.

Compensation Capacitor (Ccomp) Calculation: The formula for the compensation capacitor is:

$C_{\text{comp}} = \frac{1}{2 \pi \times f_{\text{crossover}} \times R_{\text{comp}}}$

Let's calculate this using the assumed values:

$f_{\text{crossover}} = 50000 \, \text{Hz}$
$R_{\text{comp}} = 3300 \, \Omega$

We aim to achieve a phase margin of 45 to 60 degrees for stability.

Let's calculate the value:

Code Interpreter

Python
import math

# Given values
f_crossover = 50000  # 50 kHz
Rcomp = 3300  # 3.3 kΩ

# Calculate Ccomp using the formula
Ccomp = 1 / (2 * math.pi * f_crossover * Rcomp)
Ccomp_nF = Ccomp * 1e9  # Convert from F to nF
Ccomp_nF

The calculated value for the compensation capacitor (Ccomp) is approximately 0.965 nF. You can round this to a standard value of 1 nF.

Suggested Component Values:

Rcomp: 3.3 kΩ

Ccomp: 1 nF

Wiring the Compensation Network:

Connect Rcomp (3.3 kΩ):
- Connect one end of Rcomp to IC1:6 (COMP).
- Connect the other end to one terminal of Ccomp.

Connect Ccomp (1 nF):
- Connect one terminal to the other end of Rcomp.
- Connect the other terminal to IC1:9 (AGND).

Connection Summary:

Connect Rcomp:1 to IC1:6 (COMP)

Connect Rcomp:2 to Ccomp:1

Connect Ccomp:2 to IC1:9 (AGND)

These connections stabilize the feedback loop of your TPS54332DDAR based on the characteristics of your output capacitor C1. Adjustments might still be necessary through testing to ensure optimal performance and stability. Let me know if you need further adjustments or assistance!

2mo

copilot

To create a step-down buck converter project using the

\text{TPS54332DDAR}

with an input range of 5.5-24V, outputting 5V at 3A, we'll need to consider several key components and calculations. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Components Needed

Inductor (L): Choose an inductor with appropriate inductance and current rating. An initial estimate could be around 10µH, rated for at least 4A.

Output Capacitor (Cout): A low ESR capacitor is recommended. Use a 100µF, 16V capacitor to start.

Input Capacitor (Cin): A 47µF, 25V capacitor is typically used for smoothing input voltage.

Compensation Network: Typically consists of a resistor and capacitor to stabilize feedback.

Feedback Resistors (R1, R2): These set the output voltage. Use a voltage divider to set the output at 5V.

Bootstrap Capacitor (Cboot): Typically a 0.1µF capacitor is used.

Soft-Start Capacitor (Css): Optional, if you wish to control the startup time.

Schematic Connections

Inductor and Diode:
- Connect $\text{IC1:PH}$ to one end of the inductor (L1).
- Connect the other end of L1 to the cathode of the diode (D1).
- Connect the anode of D1 to ground.

Output Capacitor (Cout):
- Connect the cathode of D1 to one terminal of $\text{Cout}$ .
- Connect the other terminal of Cout to ground.

Feedback Network:
- Connect a resistor (R1) from $\text{IC1:VSENSE}$ to the output.
- Connect another resistor (R2) from $\text{IC1:VSENSE}$ to ground.

Input Capacitor (Cin):
- Connect one terminal of Cin to $\text{IC1:VIN}$ .
- Connect the other terminal of Cin to ground.

Enable Pin:
- Connect $\text{IC1:EN}$ to VIN for normal operation or use a microcontroller to control this pin.

Bootstrap Capacitor (Cboot):
- Connect $\text{IC1:BOOT}$ to $\text{IC1:PH}$ through a 0.1µF capacitor.

Soft Start (optional):
- Connect a capacitor from $\text{IC1:SS}$ to ground if a soft start feature is desired. Typical values could be around 0.1µF.

Design Considerations

Ensure that all components, especially the inductor and capacitors, have adequate current and voltage ratings for your application.

Select a diode with a low forward voltage drop and adequate current rating (at least 3A).

Check the stability of the output using a compensation network. This might require iteration with the feedback resistor and compensation network values.

Additional Notes

Make sure to follow the layout recommendations from the $\text{TPS54332DDAR}$ datasheet to minimize noise and ensure thermal efficiency.

Verify all component pads and footprints match the parts during PCB design.
